This morning there were still two precincts that weren't reporting on the Supervisor of Election's website. The results of the election were never in doubt as it relates to the City of Lake Worth Beach's three questions. I thought that it would be good to share the final results, just to be official.
And this is what I posted on Facebook last night as the results became undeniable. I stand by every word. Then I'll share one of the videos that I share in virtual celebration of the victory for the Gulf Stream Hotel.
Lake Worth Beach peeps: I'm nearly weeping in excitement to report that, although not final, it looks like three questions on the city's BALLOT are PASSING BY WIDE MARGINS.
As of 7:42 p.m. with 11 of 17 precincts reporting. Question 1 is the closest with a total of 76.8% YES votes. Question 2 has the greatest margin with a total of 89.9% voting YES.
And, Question 3, which will lay the groundwork to save our historic Gulf Stream Hotel, is showing that 81.9% voted YES! Out of the 11 of 17 precincts reporting, none shows less than 70% YES on Question 3!
LAKE WORTH BEACH PEEPS, (excuse the virtual shouting here), I THINK WE CAN POP THE CORKS ON THIS ONE!
THE GULF STREAM HOTEL DOES INDEED HAVE NINE LIVES AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE A REAL HISTORIC HOTEL ON OUR CITY'S WATERFRONT - OPEN FOR BUSINESS - IN THE NEAR FUTURE!
